Oh, is it code for Obama or something?

Does Barak Hussein Obama rhymes with Iraq Hussein Osama?

I am really, really dense…but I don’t get the cartoon! Obama–a large stone head in the desert. Please humor me and explain…

waboomer - what I got from it is that barack obama is somewhat of a phenomenon and an unknown and people are going barackobananas over him.
Frankly, I don’t see the attraction at all.
But then, I am a thinking conservative republican. I don’t get the liberal democrat environmental wacko thing at all.

I suspect it is a parody on Easter Island where they found the stone heads and then tried to figure out why they were there. If BARAK was there, maybe there was no reason. - P

Obama doesn’t have a clue. The media put him on a magic carpet for a few weeks, and he fell off. Hillary is brutalizing him now.
I don’t think Baraak can stand up to his Chicago scrutiny, he most likely will be sucked under from some of his crooked dealings. I hope he takes his wife with him.
